The purple mist of death loomed over every corner of the city. The old people who had just woken up rubbed their eyes and said to the old man next door with a smile, "Old Xu, it looks like I don't have much time left. My eyes are already having problems when I wake up early in the morning …"
When the old man next door showed a terrified expression, the old man who had just woken up suddenly realized something!
The children who had yet to receive an education were crying early in the morning. The adults simply ignored them and went out of their houses in groups of twos and threes. They were shocked to discover that the streets less than two blocks away had suddenly disappeared. Following it, the purple mist sprinkled down. Their faces had never looked so empty before!
The young people who had gone to bed late were drowsily wrapped in their blankets. They finally could not help but open their windows to check what was going on outside. They saw the purple mist and the people running away from it. Cars were blocking the roads, people were running away from the cars, and people in uniforms were trying to disperse the crowd. Their first reaction was that they were dreaming, but after countless calls, they were thunderstruck …
Purple mist, even the old people who had lived in the Ancient Capital for more than half a century had never seen it before!
…
A new day welcomed the boundless aura of death.
On the main tower, Mofan could already hear the cries of the undead not far away from the walls. It was even more deafening than the night!
Beside him, Shorty, who had finally calmed down, was curled up on his knees. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he cried in a heart-wrenching manner.
He was sobbing as if he was trying to complain to Mofan, but at the same time, he seemed to be asking for some comfort from Mofan, "I was at the hospital last night. I heard it's the best hospital for pregnant women … I saw the light outside the window, so I came here. Normally, I wouldn't come here. I … I thought it was over. I could still tell my son how brave his father was on the day he was born … but it's gone, there's nothing left … "
"Maybe it's a daughter," said Mofan, who was not good at comforting people.
"Shut the f * * k up!" yelled Shorty.
"Maybe she's not dead. She gave birth prematurely, so she came home early. After all, we've been fighting for so long …" added Mofan.
That managed to calm Shorty down a little.
The entire tower was exhausted. Everyone had just experienced a great victory that they thought would be recorded in the annals of history. What followed was the despair of being surrounded by a tidal wave. No one knew what to do next — should they continue to defend the city wall that had been blasted open for almost a kilometer, or should they leave with the densely packed citizens who were fleeing in a chaotic mess? Behind them were the spectres that outnumbered the humans by several times. They were no longer wandering aimlessly, but had turned into an ocean of legions.
A shocking creature with bone wings was circling in the sky, looking down at the city that it could easily slaughter like livestock. Humans were too insignificant in its eyes. It could even eliminate Mages with ease …
It roared in the air, and all the undead obeyed its command and crawled out of their graves. White bones were everywhere, and there was no end to them!
At the far end of the sea of undead, a corpse as tall as a mountain appeared out of nowhere. With every step it took, the tremors from the ground were transmitted to the city. The city, which was as sturdy as an iron bucket, was trembling under its feet!
The Mountain Zombie responded to the call of the Nether Bone Ruler in the sky. Its body was like a towering banner. Thousands of undead gathered around its body. Regardless of whether they were crawling out from the ground or rolling toward it from the north, their numbers were so great that they could almost fill up the entire horizon …
The rain began to fall rapidly, forming gray curtains between the Heavens and Earth. Together with the densely packed undead army, the rain formed a huge net that slowly closed in on the city and closed in on it!
"Du Xiao, don't be rash …" Advisor Zhu grabbed Senior Hunter Du Xiao's arm.
The three leaders, Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, and Lu Xu, were not as miserable as the others. They had yet to treat their injuries.
The Phantom Tyrant Emperor was only a minor Ruler-level undead. The four of them had barely managed to kill it, leaving them with serious injuries. On the other hand, the Nether Bone Ruler's aura was a lot stronger than the Phantom Tyrant Emperor. Even if they were in their best condition, they would not stand a chance against the Phantom Tyrant Emperor, let alone being worn out and covered in injuries …
Not to mention, the Mountain Zombie was watching them from fifty kilometers away. That was the real Ruler-level undead!
"I'm afraid that guy is from the same era as the Black Totem Snake. Obey the orders of the higher-ups? Withdraw the barrier at once. If any of us die here, the casualties will be ten times more than what we have now! "Zhu Meng displayed the calmness of a Councilman.
However, blue veins were already popping out on his fists. He was the one who proposed the Threat-Elimination Strategy, yet he was totally unaware of the disaster that was about to befall the city.
Why was that?
Why were the undead able to wreak havoc at dawn, even more than the darkest night!?
Why were there so many undead all of a sudden? Could it be that the ruler of the Kingdom of the Undead had shown himself? Why would the undead that had been asleep for thousands of years show up today …
"Zhu Meng …" Mofan stopped Councilman Zhu Meng with a stern expression.
"You should run for your life too, to the inner walls. With the protection of the Safety Barrier, we should be able to survive this …" Zhu Meng let out a sigh, as if he had aged tremendously.
This was the Ancient Capital. It had been many years since the last time so many undead showed up. They should have known it would happen when the situation was getting out of control, yet they were still hoping for a fluke.
Where should they run to under the Purple Alert?
What was the chance of them surviving?
Even Magicians had to face the pursuit of the Grim Reaper. What about the ordinary people?
He wanted to step forward now and save a street or a residential area. Sadly, in this position, he didn't even have the right to die bravely. He had to live, or there would be no hope.
"Of course I know we should run for our lives, but I want to tell you what I'm feeling …" Mofan said in a deep voice. His face was stern like never before.
"Go ahead," said Zhu Meng with a pale face.
"Bo City, you should know that I'm from Bo City … believe it or not, I can smell the scent of the Black Vatican!" said Mofan coldly.
"Black Vatican! How do you know that? "Zhu Meng was astounded.
"Rain!" said Mofan.
Zhu Meng was startled.
Rain?
Did that mean the undead were able to wreak havoc at dawn because of the rain that had fallen not long ago?
But, the Ancient Capital had been soaked in heavy rain before. He had never heard of rain being able to make the undead go berserk like this!
